Elasta 3900 vs. Similar Elasta Frames
If you're considering the Elasta 3900, you might also be looking at other frames in the Elasta collection. Here's how the 3900 compares to two similar models.
Elasta 3900 vs. Elasta 3055
Both frames share Safilo's quality construction and spring hinge technology, but they differ in size and styling. The 3055 offers larger sizing (55-59mm lens widths) with skull temple tips that curve behind the ear for a more secure fit—great if you have a larger face or prefer that wraparound feel. However, the 3900's 49mm lens width and oval shape make it more versatile for small to medium faces, and it comes in at a slightly lower price ($91.48 vs. $92.67-$96.86). The 3900 also offers four distinct color options including the popular Matte Blue and Black Ruthenium, while the 3055 focuses on rose gold and gray marble finishes.
Elasta 3900 vs. Elasta 3060
The key difference here is shape: the 3900's oval design versus the 3060's navigator/aviator style. If you have a square or diamond-shaped face, the 3900's rounded edges will soften your features more effectively. The navigator shape of the 3060 makes a bolder statement but may not be as appropriate for conservative professional environments. The 3900 is also more budget-friendly at $91.48 compared to the 3060's $96.86 price point. Both accommodate progressive lenses equally well, so your choice comes down to aesthetic preference and face shape compatibility.
Our recommendation: The Elasta 3900 offers the best balance of versatility, value, and universal fit. Its oval shape works for more face types, the sizing suits most men, and the four color options let you match your personal style—all at the most accessible price in this tier of the Elasta collection.
